🩷Lover Lyrical Parallels🩷
- Throughout the chorus of ‘Lover’ Taylor sings “my” 4 times
- The opening of ‘Death By A Thousand Cuts’ start out with the same “my”s as heard in the chorus of ‘Lover’
This shows the muse for ‘Lover’ is the same muse being sung about in ‘Death By A Thousand Cuts’
(aka not joe alwyn)

Trees.
Taylor uses trees/shade as a motif throughout her discography.
I think, as a metaphor for closeting.
Here are a few examples/ explanations:
Out Of The Woods (1989) - ‘Are we out
of the woods? Are we in the clear yet?
- She’s asking her lover if the coast is clear, if they’re free to show their love for one another; “Is it safe to come out yet?”
You Need To Calm Down (Lover) - ‘Shade never made anybody less gay!’
- While some believe she’s referencing “shade” as in “being disrespectful”
I thought this line could be referencing being in the closet through the tree motif. As in no matter how “shaded” someone’s sexuality is, being in the closet doesn’t take away from their queerness.
Paris (Midnights) - ‘Sit quiet by
my side in the shade, and not the kind
that’s thrown, I mean the kind under
where a tree has grown’
- She’s asking her lover to sit quietly under a “tree” with her. She’s asking her lover to sit peacefully with her in the “closet” and keep their love hidden.
She could also be referencing
Tree Paine*, her publicist who has the resources to keep their love hidden/secret. She’s reassuring her lover they don’t have to worry, they’re protected.
Tree Paine* - Taylor’s publicist,
(who’s name is literally TREE) is also a metaphorical “closet” for Taylor.
Tree keeps the real Taylor hidden, she sets the narrative the media pushes.
She protects Taylor’s public image.
(love u Tree xo)
